Norwich City are showing interest in making Celtic 's chief talent spotter David Moss their new director of football.

The Canaries are on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of former Hamilton Accies boss Alex Neil and are believed to be looking to have a director of football in place before appointing a new man.

Moss, who is the head of development scouting at Celtic Park, was part of the scouting network which helped bring Virgil van Dijk and Victor Wanyama to the Hoops.

He was also the man who opened talks with Moussa Dembele's agent Mamadi Fofana and played a huge part in the Hoops being able to attract the French Under-21 international to Celtic Park from Fulham.

The former Partick Thistle and Falkirk midfielder, previously held the academy manager's job at Swansea and Crystal Palace, and worked under ex-head of football development John Park before he left the Premiership leaders in October.

The news of the Canaries interest in Moss comes as former Sunderland sporting director Lee Congerton was appointed head of recruitment at Celtic Park earlier today.
